A video from Russian social media shows one of the drones hitting some gas condensate tanks.
As a result of the attack, one gas tank was severely damaged and three nearby containers were affected by debris. Experts say the repairs will take at least a month, subject to the availability of materials, and will definitely lead to disruptions in the terminal's operations, the source adds.
The Ust-Luga terminal is an important Russian logistics hub on the Baltic Sea through which Russia sells oil and gas using its shadow fleet.
